ROLLER ATTACHMENT FOR BOATS GUNWALES;

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 366,007, dated July 5, 1887.

v Application filed August 28, 1886. Serial No. 212,078. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern..-

Be it known that I, PERRY S. KATSENYS, of Astoria, in the county of Olatsop and State of Oregon, haveinvented a new and Improved Fishing-Boat, of which the followingisa specification, reference being had to the annexed drawings, forming a part thereof, in which- Figure 1 is a perspective View of a portion of a boat to which my improvement has been applied- Fig. 2 is a detail perspective view of the roller.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the different figures. I

In salmon fishing the net is commonly paid out and hauled in over the gnnwale of the boat, and the friction of the net in sliding over the edge of the boat roughens and injures it and increases the labor of the fisherman.

The object of my invention is to obviate these difficulties and to provide a device which will permit of paying out and hauling in nets without appreciable friction or wear.

The invention consists of the combination of parts, including their construction, substantially as hereinafter set forth, and pointed out in the claim.

The gunwale Act the boat B is cut away,

leaving a space, 0, for receiving the roller D, whose diameter is about equal to the thickness of the gunwale. The roller D is provided at opposite ends with journals a, and to the ends of the gunwale A are secured plates E, having oblique slots b, with rounded lower ends for receiving the journals a of the roller D. \Vhere the gunwale of the boat is formed on a short curve near the stern, the rollers are made shorter, and two or more such rollers are applied to each side of the boat. When the net is paid out, it is allowed to pass over the roller or rollers, and, as the rollers turn readily, very little friction is created.

Having thus described myiriventiomwhat I claim as new, and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is

In a fishing-boat, the divided sectional gunwale having the slotted plates, one arranged at each end of the opening formed by its division, and the roller with its journals let into the slots of said plates, substantially as and for the purpose set forth. PERRY S. KATSENYS.
